Website Info

Thank you for visiting!

This website is maintained by Bill Smedley. I'm the son of the late Amert Wildern-Smedley. My mother inspired and encourage me to work on the Wildern Family genealogy, but she never saw the Wildern website. She didn't even know about the 'World Wide Web' and she never saw a web browser. This site has been in existance about 11 years now, but it goes through perodic updates because of advancements in technology and for security reasons. If it isn't updated, the site enters a state of depreciation which causes parts of the site to not work properly.

In June of 2016, the Wildern Website went through a complete transformation and all of the underlying structure was updated. You may have noticed some things are a little different, but it's easier to maintain since it now has automatic updates. The system tells me when updates are available and all I have to do is click a button to perform the update. This amazes me and hopefully it will make things much easier in the future.
